After a couple of pre-open beta tests last week, SEGA has announced that Phantasy Star Online 2's open beta will begin very soon. This starts this Thursday, June 21st, but those who register ahead of time will receive a Rappy min-doll as a gift, which can be a decoration for your room.

SEGA has not yet announced when full service for Phantasy Star Online 2 will begin, but it may be sooner rather than later if all goes well in the open beta. Those who participate in the beta will get to carry over their data into the full game. Availability of the PC title has not yet been announced for overseas.

You will, however, find some 70 new screenshots of the game's first four chapters as well as NPCs. Be sure to look at our gallery below!
